Updates...July.

Ok, so before I go spend the next 18 days melting in the desert somewhere between the Old Mexico and the New Mexico with only a tent to sleep in (let's hope this part changes because I really like beds), I thought I might post a few updates.

1st- Robbie is in Hawaii this week looking at condos (and going to meetings, but that is boring stuff).  Hopefully he will get to look at a handful so we can narrow it down to at least an area that we really like.

2nd- While Robbie is playing around on Oahu AND Maui I am preparing for my Annual Training.  This year we are going to Fort Bliss.  If you look up Fort Bliss on a map you will notice that the word "bliss" is supposed to be a joke.  Last I heard, the plan was for all of us to recieve a 1 person tent when we arrive.  Now, everything in the Army is always subject to change and I wish I could say that I thought this would change, but the "crappy" parts always stay the same.  The up-side, yes there is an up-side, is that this is my LAST Annual Training...EVERRRR!  I will not have to go again next summer and I can finally have a whole summer to relax!

3rd- One of the most amazing things about "Bliss" is the lact of internet and cell phone signal.  Now we can all wish that Verizon decided to stick a tower in the middle of this blissfull country, but I doubt it.  So if you text me, email, call, skype, facebook and I don't answer. I apologize now.  I would love to talk to you, but....nada.  (hopefully Verizon saw a need for a tower and none of this will matter!!)

4th-  We have received an offer on our house...maybe 2.  I haven't heard from Robbie about the second.  But, anyways, we have not accepted anything yet, but an offer is a great sign!  We are excited and hope we will be able to get all of this underway soon, so we can buy our sweet little condo and all of you can start planning vacations :-)

5th- Django, in case you are wondering what the little guy is going to do while we are both out of town, is spending the next couple of weeks in Buffalo. He pretty much thinks Buffalo is the most amazing place ever! There is a pond, a kiddie pool, and 25+ unfenced acres of woods to chase other dogs and rabbits through. He may not WANT to move to a condo in Hawaii :-(

I wish I had more to tell you, but mostly I just didn't want to go off for 3 weeks without giving some sort of update.  I promise to let everyone know when I get back and update you again as soon as possible. Have a great July!!!  (and think of me...maybe eat some ice cream because I won't get any in the desert).
